It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since Hurricane Katrina. I love New Orleans and feel so sorry for those who lost their lives and homes as a result of the flooding. I know there's still a lot more work to be done. I think these lyrics by Steve Earle sum up how I feel:
This city won't ever die
Just as long as our heart be strong
Like a second line stepping high
Raising hell as we roll along
Gentilly to Vieux Carre
Lower 9, Central City, Uptown
Singing Jockamo fee nane
This city won't ever drown.
I'm an indie writer and I've written two books about this great city. The first is "The Ghost in the Plantation: A Nancy Keene Mystery."
Do you like Nancy Drew? Do you like New Orleans? If so, you will enjoy this humorous and PG-rated story about a teenage sleuth that especially targets women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the Nancy Drew series. Nancy Keene, the teenage sleuth in this story, goes on vacation with her father and friends to the French Quarter. What starts out as a sight-seeing trip changes into a murder/mystery when a docent at Oak Alley Plantation is murdered while they are there. Part travelogue, part ghost story, this book mixes voodoo, ghosts, and bayous into a spicy gumbo of a whodunit.
